Question on a 1902 Luger Carbine Stock

If it isn't an original stock, it is a darn good replica made by someone who knows stockmaking. I would have to see some real sharp close-ups of the checkering on the buttstock from the side and the bottom to render a better opinion. As for DWM stamping markings on the buttplate, it is made of horn and wouldn't take kindly to stamping.

I have no idea what is beneath my stock's buttplate, and I am not about to dismantle it to find out. It is in nearly new condition also, so I am not surprised that your stock looks "too new to be original".
